Chapter 122: Only Lord Lu is left in the Lu family
Along the way, Xia was a little distraught.
Chen Heng repeatedly reminded them not to tell this matter to anyone except her and Ajian, and not to tell Mei'er and Min'er either.
"Why? Min'er is in the Duke's Mansion. If he is a member of the Duke's Mansion, he will definitely be able to see him." Xia's mind was very confused. She had always believed that her husband was not dead, but just missing.
"Sister-in-law, precisely because this is the Duke's Mansion, how can we allow outsiders to talk nonsense? If there is any mistake, at best they will be expelled from the imperial capital, and at worst they will be imprisoned. Min'er is young. If you tell him that there is someone who looks very much like his father, he will probably not even be able to study properly and will have to seek proof. This will only harm him." Chen Heng analyzed the pros and cons with her.
After hearing this, Xia Shi also felt that this was indeed the case: "Yes, yes..."
"And Mei'er, she's an outsider after all. What if she accidentally tells this to others and it spreads from one person to ten, and from ten to four? Even if we have suspicions, we have to investigate quietly." Chen Heng said.
When it came to the question of "泔", Xia calmed down: "Hey, I'll listen to you."
She was no longer in the mood to admire the chrysanthemums. After sending her sister-in-law back to the street near her rented residence, Shen Heng went to the Meng family shop. Although no one would say anything if she was late for an hour or so given her current position as the manager, she still bought some freshly baked snacks for the shop assistants.
When leaving the shop, Shen Heng suddenly remembered that Meng Xuanlang had mentioned in a letter to Xie Jian that there was someone who looked very similar to A Jian. Could they be the same person?
Just as Chen Heng was thinking this, she saw a familiar figure about to enter a gold paper shop across the street (which sold funeral and sacrificial supplies): "Brother Yu Wei?"
"Madam Shen?" Yu Wei was about the same height as Gu Feng, both of them were strong and sturdy.
"Are you coming into this store to investigate a case?" Chen Heng asked.
"No." Yu Wei lowered his voice and said, "It's the anniversary of the death of your family. Every year at this time, I help you buy some sacrificial supplies."
"Lord Lu is still so young, I wonder which relative he is?"
"Lord Lu is the only one left in the Lu family." Yu Wei sighed.
Chen Heng was stunned for a moment. Only one person was left? Did that mean both parents were gone? She quickly said, "On the day of the sacrifice, Ajian and I will go together. You are Ajian's mentor, so you should go."
"Don't bother. The adults don't like crowds at this time." The fewer people who knew about the Lu family's affairs, the better. Even Xie Jian would not know about it at the earliest. Yu Wei said, "I'm busy first." Then he walked into the gold paper shop.
With Lord Lu's gentle personality, Chen Heng had always thought that the Lu family must be a family of upright scholars, but she never expected that he was the only one left.
In the evening, the weather suddenly changed.
Fortunately, Shen Heng returned home before it rained. As soon as she entered the house, she saw that the light in the study, which was never on, was on, and loud laughter came from the study.
It was the voices of Wu Jin and Meng Xuanlang.
"Ajian, then you and I will go to Yuezhou with Xuanlang to welcome the bride and bring back his bride." Wu Jin's voice was full of excitement.
"It's only October, and the wedding won't be until May of next year. Why decide on it so early?" Xie Jian's voice was always cold and indifferent.
